That would support the theory that gmtime is broken on Windows, that it 
doesn't apply the DST rules at all.

I don't have time to do further testing on this, so if someone can, it would 
be appreciated. Also, please report the issue in the Qt issue tracker 
(http://bugreports.qt-project.org) so it doesn't get forgotten.

PS: I don't know of any country that does DST in Winter. I do know of 
countries that have Summer in December, though, and I know of regions that do 
reverse DST during Winter.
